Faculty & Staff

The Office of International Education (OIE) values our partnerships with academic departments in promoting study abroad opportunities. Surveys indicate that Carnegie Mellon students utilize OIE advising and faculty advisors as two of their primary resources during the study abroad planning process. In addition to providing the underlying administrative framework of the study abroad experience, the OIE study abroad team provides information and guidance to students from the earliest stages of study abroad exploration all the way to welcoming students back. At the same time, faculty and academic advisors encourage students throughout the process and carefully review curricular fit and academic requirements. Each person – faculty advisor, teaching professor, departmental academic advisor, and OIE study abroad advisor – plays a crucial role in ensuring that students get abroad and have a successful experience abroad.
